  • I would welcome any WR at this point.. Can we really pick and choose between the players we get and expect to be any good..

    I am still crying about trading Ernest Byner for Ron Oliphant.. Why?? What were the browns thinking??

    Goes to show what a bust this guy was when it's tough to even remember his f'in name (it was MIKE Oliphant, not Ron...)

  • good catch...

  • Vincent Jackson is a stud and would be very nice in a Cleveland Uniform

    So Philly doesn't have good people? San Fran? Dude you're high.
    if you're trying to insult me you're going to have to try harder than that. 😎

    Philly and SF were a lifetime ago--he's not even the same person now. you sure you just weren't reaching so you could say that?

    Dallas and Buffalo carry more weight, and i'd venture to say no locker room has had the character level our new regime is attempting to assemble.

    Not really insulting you man. Just saying it would be a stupid move. So he's changed? He's not even the same person, lol. You must get the TO insider. Dude he's not a team player he's selfish. Look at his twitter on Wednesday he posted 20 times. Yea it's not about him. LOL!

  • Vincent would cost our first and third, unless we could somehow give them next years first. Either that or were also trying to work out trades gaining another first round pick.

    Wouldn't want to give that much up for him but since they just lost there NT maybe a trade involving Rogers would do the trick, but he'd have to be willing to sign a long term contract before I pulled the trigger

  • T.O. is a going to be a distraction on a team likely looking from the outside in on the playoffs, remember how hard the browns played in the final 4 games of the season...i doubt T.O. is willing to put that sort of effort in when the games are 'meaningless'

    Vincent played very well in a contract year with one of the best QBs in the league throwing him the ball...i'll pass on overpaying for him

    If all we want is vet leadership bring in someone who won't be a cap burden or a distraction

  • i say hell yeah to T.O.

    introduce T.O. into a high character environment like the locker room EM and H3 are building and i think it checks and balances him. bring him in.

    Dude, it is the perfect reply to the post. I am still laughing at it.

    Distraction? T.O. would be a picnic compared to the crap that we've been through during the past three camps.

    It's not going to happen, but it sure would be fun to watch.

    i maintain, long time ago>>>show me some stuff in a Buffalo uni and i'll see the red flags too.

    sure, he's done his share of Ocho type distraction stuff but at least he doesn't catch legal charges. he may be a severe narcissist but i think he's shown he's matured a lot since then regarding his NFL exploits. a few years is a long time and messaging on Twitter is what it is. a great conversation between him and the brass and a one year deal, who knows? Delhomme and TO could seriously kill some defenses together.

    the right team environment could really do wonders for him...or maybe you're right. maybe he's not worth the possible headache. forgiveness can be a virtue or a weakness.

    that's why H3 & EM get paid the big $$ and i'm just a fan (but i'd openly accept him as a Brown until he proves he doesn't deserve it--clean slate).

    I'm not buying into the TO is a "changed man" thing what so ever. Historically everywhere he has went after SF he was a choir boy the first year, after that he's a clown.

    His negatives far out way the positives for him to be of value to the browns.

  • The dude is 36 years old, if he is not mature by now then he will never change. He is in great shape for his age, but i really dont see how his "Veteran" leadership could or would help this team. He has really never been about TEAM, as much as T.O. If we were to get V. Jackson it would be a great pick up, he has progressed every year since he has been in the NFL. I just dont want to give up high draft picks for a player.

  • T.O. Could Be a Cleveland Brown.

    Do you want T.O. in Cleveland?

    I was reading an article or interview rather on the OBR. Like most Cleveland article's it discussed the Brown's Quarterback merry go round and draft possibilities. But what caught my eye was that the Brown's are very interested in Vincent Jackson and could make a real move for him. Also the Brown's have not shut the door on T.O. because of the lack of veteran talent at the wide out position. Obviously most Cleveland fans would like to see Jackson in a Brown's uniform. But would you like to see T.O. in Cleveland it's very tough to say which T.O. you may get. The T.O. who love's his quarterback and will shed a tear for him or the T.O. who tosses the entire team out in front of the first greyhound driving by Monday mourning. As for me I am sceptical but it is hard to deny the lack of veteran leadership at wide receiver. I guess only time will tell but I will be very surprised if there is not another WR in Cleveland by draft day.

    Dez Bryant forgot his cleats

    Posted by Mike Florio on March 30, 2010 3:01 PM ET

    As it turns out, Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant showed up on time for his Pro Day workout.

    His cleats, however, didn't make the trip.

    We're told that Bryant forgot to bring his cleats, and that as a result he had to wear a pair of brand-new shoes, which had not properly been broken in.

    As a result, Bryant was slipping, as NFLN's Mike Mayock pointed out when discussing the workout on the air.

    Per a league source, at least one team measured Bryant's times in the 40-yard dash at 4.57 and 4.62 seconds, within the 4.52 to 4.68 range reported by NFL.com. He presumably would have run faster, but for the slipping.

    With TO out there for cheap, Brandon Marshall's a proven stud and can be had for a 1st rd. pick, and Plaxico Burress out there (any news on him?)

    Why would a team invest a 1st round pick for a guy thats not proven and has major character concerns when you can have one of these 3 for less money and more production? He just might fall all the way to the Bengals

  • I was unable to find where TO or his agent said he would play for cheap. So if you could post a link it would be helpful.

    I think TO has worn out his welcome in the NFL and there is a far greater risk than reward.

    Although he puts up good numbers his hands are only a shade better than Edwards and TO drops alot of catchable balls.

    Plus the guy is a whine ass like no other when it comes to getting the ball, and if he don't he seems to kick it back a notch or two and pout like a little kid.

    There is a reason he's unsigned... first he's not cheap.... second he's not a team player. If it was just one of those problems he would be signed and working with a team at OTA's.

  • Bring TO to Cleveland!

    He'll make the long walk from the tailgate party to the Stadium worth it. Let's mix a little attitude in for all the rooks that Holmgren and Mangini will be training. We need someone to loosen up all of Mangini's choir boys. After all, it is football. Right?

    i'm ready to have some fun again.

    I agree, I want to be intertained, not just read what a nice fisherman our fine drafted players are.
